Nationals 14-09-2009 The nationals have come & gone for another year & it was another very successful comp with 326 competitors spread across every division. Once again the atmosphere was competitive yet extremely friendly & without a doubt this is the best run comp in Australia. Congrats must go to John Will & wife Melisa for the organisation & ultimately setting such a good culture, it's very refreshing not to hear constant abuse from the sideline as happens at many of these comps. Jake Farnsworth at 25kg fought in the 32kg division & although struggling with illness over the last couple of months still managed to take 3rd, losing on points to the eventual winner in his semi final match. Robert Sabaruddin had a great match in the light weight blue belt division, almost winning in the opening seconds with a flying armbar. But unfortunately went down on points. Andrew Fu won his first match in the light heavy weight blue belts with an awesome display of technical BJJ. Andrew just went down on points In his second match against a much more experienced opponent. Peter Sardelich although not training for the last 7 weeks due to work commitments still stepped up to compete in the light heavy weight purple belt division & put up a good fight until he run out of gas & caught with an omoplata. Great work guy's, we are all very proud of you.
